All of us have been around people who talk a good game. They always have answers to life’s most difficult problems. They believe that if they just “say the words” their solutions and desires will appear like magic. These friends are not very interesting and we all know they miss the whole point of supreme effort to attain a given goal. Now, the guys who are interesting are the ones that tell you everything and are willing to bleed openly about their efforts, what they are doing, how it works, why they are doing it and they love to relate their progress. Now, these are the beings that will teach you, test you, and will push by example to be better.
When I used to run track (a million years ago) i knew I would be running against the best. I would fret and worry about not being the worst guy on the track the day of the meet. I’m a first class worry wart so I would take my prep to the alley out back of my house. I’d run the precise race over and over again, night after night for weeks if necessary. All the while trying to improve. I’d finish with my legs wobbling, sweat soaking my entire gym clothes. I’d climb the stairs to the balcony outside my bedroom and fall flat on the cool wood and often fell asleep until around 4:00 am. Then crawl to the base of my bed and grab my stinking blanket and wrap it around me until school. I never lost in the next 5 major meets. All because of the hard, hidden work in the night.
In bodybuilding the same is true. You have to get a very large pile of “want to” in your belly. Begin and don’t look back. You have to work harder than anybody else. You need to develop a maxim that says, “nobody out works me.” — “Victory belongs to him/her that prepares to win”…..Bear Bryant, College Football Hall of fame coach from the University of Alabama.
Bottom Line: Nothing is free. Talk less. Work more. Expect to win. This is your time.
